This game is so weird

Abruptly thrust into a strange and perilous alien ocean, Li Ang finds himself the lone commander of an isolated pioneering base. Surrounded by colossal deep-sea monstrosities, an infinite starry sky, and crushing solitude, he stumbles upon a life-changing ability: he can package his harrowing reality of survival into an immersive video game, summoning a legion of zealous, quirky Earth gamers to do his bidding. Watching them cheerfully grind away behind their monitors, catching alien fish while enthusiastically proclaiming it the greatest game in the universe, Li Ang breaks into a classic capitalist grin. But the dynamic shifts the day a player—riding a mutated pet nurtured with rare gold and mysterious crystals—kicks open his office door: "Commander, when are the full-dive neural gaming helmets finally shipping?" Li Ang glances at his soaring Star Coin balance, then at the player's expectant face. It seems it is finally time to show these enthusiastic mortals the true terror of the Fourth Calamity.
